Educational Insights Math Slam Review & Giveaway

This week I had to opportunity to review a fun, portable game that helps kids review math facts on the go! A slammin new way to learn math? I'm all for it & Educational Insights Math Slamcertainly delivers!

All these features make this a great multi-age, multi-ability level game that can be utilized both at home, on the go and in the classroom.

The 5 math games included are:

Slam it up - which reviews number order

Sum Slam - addition

Subtraction Slam - subtraction

Mystery Number - algebraic addition

Triple Slam - triple addition & subtraction

Our Thoughts:
This is a high quality product - sturdy in it's construction, easy to turn on and off and select a game and level of play, fun flashing lights and engaging audio sounds that provide instant feedback. Kids hear a beep for correct answers and a bong sound for incorrect answers. I like that the incorrect answers are repeated giving the child the opportunity to work out their answer and try again.

Games are also timed which allows children to work to "beat" their best timed scores for answering the 10 math questions. My Little Diva really enjoyed slamming down the correct answer - it definitely kept the game lively along with the flashing lights & sounds.

I appreciate that there are 4 levels to the game. This means it will be around for a long while and will grow along with my girls math abilities. Right now my kindergartener is able to play some of the basic levels on her own but this game has definitely made both her & her little sister a lot more interested in math. We sit and play some of the harder games like Mystery Number and Triple Slam together at their request.

Disclaimer: I received Math Slam for free for the purposes of trying it out for this review. That being said, this review is my 100% honest opinion of this product - I am not paid for my reviews or optinions! They are 100% mine! Please remember that your opinions and tastes might differ from mine.

Math Slam sounds like a fun game and a great learning tool. I like that it repeats the math question when an incorrect answer is chosen so the child can figure it out again. My granddaughter just started first grade and Math Slam sounds perfect for her. :-)vinter AT warwick DOT net

I love Ed. Insights! This game looks great and would be perfect for my little guy. I also like the fact that it has a headphone jack so it can be taken on road/train trips!!Jennifer Njcarmich5 at aoldotcom

I love this! This is so cool my daughter would get a kick out of playing this!! I like the fact that its educational and that you get too choose the type of problem you want to do...since my daughter is young she does not need dividing and multiplying yet!!
